Subaru powered Toyota FT-86 Concept

Yeah, I'm expecting the supercharger to be a TRD part, not a "TRD car" so-to-speak.

I think Subaru will release an STI version of the BRZ that has upgraded brakes + suspension goodies, and then a "Spec B" or something that will have a turbo and probably be priced around 35k.

This might seem expensive, but it would probably be marketed as a limited run car -- and it would also most likely have extra interior goodies bits as well.

I'd happily pay 35k for the car. It will have a lot of features that aren't available in other RWD cars in that price range (LSD, etc)

I would probably do this too.

Good thing is the woman's CLK500 is another year or two away from trade-in time so this could be a viable replacement.

Especially when you could fit 4 WHEELS in the freaken thing. I'm lucky if I could transport 2 tires at most with the Z.

STi ain't an STi without turbo.. Subaru would disappointment millions of enthusiasts by trying to sell a non turbo STi.. Sacrilegious, and a slap in the face to Suby fans.

The WRX arrived in 01, and the STi followed 2 years later. Expect a repeat for the introduction of the BRZ.

BTW.. I would much rather own a supercharged vehicle for the sake of throttle response, but I'm certain Subaru won't just slap on the turbo and cooler like Toyota can with a supercharger.. STi trim has always come with a beefed up chassis and engine.

You know STI is a subgroup, not a trim level, right?

The NA BRZ will be badged with the Subaru Technica International banging from the start, since STI collaborated on the build. There may be a turbo version later, but it won't be BRZ vs BRZ STI to differentiate.
